This product did a great job of getting my acne under control and keeping my pores clean. However, I didn't like the watery texture and the sticky feeling it left on my skin. I prefer the Paula's...

I hate this product. Even if I use it sparingly and give it PLENTY of time to dry, it rubs off into gross little flakes when I put on my foundation. YUCK! That being said, I adore Paula's 2% BHA...

I LOVE this! I started with the 2% solution, and that turned out to be too irritating/drying for me. I switched to the 1% gel, every other day, and it is fantastic. Definitely not as drying as the...

You only need a tiny little bit, it spreads easily all over the face and is not sticky, but it makes my skin feel soft and smooth. I can see that it already makes a difference in my clogged pores,...
